Chapter 8: Arriving in the Capital
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
From the day she was captured, Leas thought she was finished.
Every day she lived in panic, fear, and despair.
She had heard the elven elders talk about what had happened to the elves after they had been captured by humans.
They had become puppets for the human nobles and tools for their lust.
The delicate bodies and natural beauty of the Elves were very popular in the upper classes of the human society.
It was said that raising a few elves was a symbol of the identity and taste of the great nobles.
Even the male elves were the same.
She was like a frightened little animal in the dark and damp prison bus, waiting for her tragic fate to come.
However, it seemed that today, fate took a turn.
Leas heard the sounds of fighting outside the prison bus and screams that finally turned into cheers.
In the end, everything calmed down.
When the black cloth in front of her was lifted.
A young human appeared in front of her.
He was very good-looking, not inferior to the elves at all.
The humans who captured her all respected him very much.
Most importantly, his eyes were very clear and calm.
There was not the slightest bit of greed or lust that others showed when they saw her. It was as if they would pounce on her at any moment and tear her into pieces. It made her very afraid.
The wheat cake was too coarse and tasted terrible. It was not as delicious as the fruits that grew in the elven forest.
But Leas was too hungry now.
Those people only gave her a little food every day in order to prevent her from having any physical strength, so she would struggle to escape.
Leas drank a mouthful of water and desperately swallowed the wheat cake crumbs in her mouth.
“It’s not good, right?”
Leas shook her head desperately.
She was afraid that even this pitiful food would be taken back.
“No need to hide it. Actually, I don’t think it’s good either.”
Joelson smiled and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. When we enter the city tomorrow, we’ll be able to eat delicious food. It’s time for you to take a good bath.”
Leas’ fair face flushed red.
She had not taken a bath for many days, and her body was emitting an unpleasant smell.
This was simply unbearable for the Elves, who had always loved cleanliness.
Leas finished a large piece of wheat cake and drank a lot of water. Her stomach finally felt much better, and she was not so hungry anymore.
After Leas was full, she burped a little.
Joelson could not help but laugh.
Leas’ shy face turned red.
Joelson realized that Leas indeed had the temperament of a maid. She was weak, obedient, and like a kitten. If she could change into a maid’s outfit, she would be very cute. Joelson thought of Leas wearing a maid’s outfit.
“Sleep.”
Joelson leaned against the cushion on his back and closed his eyes.
Most mages would use meditation to replace sleep.
For other magicians, no matter how powerful their magic power was, it needed to be accumulated bit by bit.
But Joelson didn’t need it.
Ever since he met that old man, Beard, he had completely given up the idea of trying to meditate every day to level up.
He had a system.
Leas secretly observed Joelson and found that this human seemed to be really ready to sleep and didn’t have the slightest intention of invading her.
He was really very different from others.
Leas was relieved.
Looking at the carriage door, the thought of escaping flashed through her mind, but it was quickly extinguished by herself.
If she was found running away, she would definitely be captured and sold to another person.
Could she be fat and ugly like a fat pig? Or perhaps she had some perverted hobby?
Leas did not dare to think further. Looking at the handsome and gentle side profile of Joelson, she suddenly felt that it was good to have such a master.
Leas did not see that a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the tightly shut eyes of Joelson.
Joelson did not fall asleep. His consciousness had already arrived at the Dragon God Ranch.
Most of Du Lu’s body was submerged in the magma pool to sleep.
The lava pool, which could be used as a pool for it to swim in, was now only a slightly bigger bathtub.
When Du Lu reached Tier 4, it would appear even smaller. It had to save up gold coins to upgrade the dragon nest to medium-sized.
There was a small pile of gold coins beside Du Lu.
When it saw Joelson, it immediately became excited.
It flapped its wings, shook off the lava on its body, and pounced on Joelson.
Joelson pushed Du Lu’s big head away in disgust and walked to the farmland to take a look.
The five dragon-scale fruits planted last night were almost ripe.
Each purple fruit the size of a fist was covered with regular patterns like scales.
When the dragon-scale fruits were ripe, Joelson picked all of them and exchanged them for five more seeds to plant.
“Du Lu, open your mouth!”
Joelson called out, and Du Lu wagged its tail and came up to him.
The five dragon scale fruits entered Du Lu’s already huge mouth. Although these five fruits looked small in his mouth and could not fill his stomach, he was still eating happily.
Growth Value: 467/500
In one more day, Du Lu would advance to tier 4.
It was the same for Joelson. The experience points he had accumulated were almost overflowing.
He thought about it carefully and decided to level up as well.
After leveling up, Joelson instantly felt the power in his body become stronger, and his mind became clearer. Just like the last time he leveled up to a level 1 apprentice mage, he had already become a Tier 2 mage.
In more than ten days, he had changed from an apprentice who had just learned how to meditate to a level-2 mage.
If word got out, it would probably scare a bunch of people.
It could only be said that having a system was good!
No matter how talented other mages were, no matter how hard they worked, they would never be able to catch up to him!
Joelson was slightly satisfied and chose to return.
“Sir Joelson, in front of us is the Capital of the Alcott Empire!”
A magnificent giant city was displayed in front of Joelson.
People, carriages, and guards in bright armor patrolled.
This was a scene he had never seen in the 16 years he was in the baron’s territory.
“Sir Joelson, are you really not going to visit the Lucca Chamber of Commerce? The president will be very happy to see you.”
No, I’d better go to the academy and register first.
Joelson declined Benson’s invitation. Benson’s face was full of regret, but he didn’t insist.
“After Sir Joelson enters the academy, we will come to pay an official visit.”
After Benson said goodbye to Joelson, the caravan drove in another direction.
Joelson got down from the carriage, followed by Leas and Martin.
He especially found a black cloak to cover Leas’ pointy ears, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble due to her identity as an elf.
Joelson found a small hotel and spent a gold coin to rent two rooms, so that little Martin and Leas could settle down first.
He found the owner of the hotel himself, asked for the location of the capital Magic Academy, and went to the academy alone.
That was the real purpose of his trip for so many days.
